Don’t really know too much about this “sport” but the shear thought of throwing an object that fast sounds to good to disappoint.

There’s nothing wrong with playing hard and fair prashant. If the test had been played hard and fair there’d be no problems. There was nothing hard nor fair about they way Hughes, Hussey and Katich were given out though.

To be fair, and in an attempt to be unbiased, Australia were outplayed by England during days 1,2,3 and 5. Day 4 though they were well and truly outplayed by the umpiring. The fact that they got so close to stealing the game even though 3 of their top 4 batsmen were given out when they shouldn’t have been should give the Aussies hope for the remaining 3 tests.

Looks like when things start going against the aussies, they start whingeing as well. What happened to “hard n fair”?? Discarded in Steve Waugh’s dustbin, i suppose.

Terrible umpiring. Now that the verdict of the match is given, it can be concluded that Australia did not loose match to england.

IT IS UMPIRES DUO who won for England. Come on Team, wrap up your sleeves and ensure that umpires do not do it again.

Rudy, Are you trying to ensure that South Africa reaches to top in Test sides by giving wrong decisions against Australia… You should quit. Even my grand mother can do a better umpiring than you
